The concerns of many parties regarding the spread of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict to the International Space Station (ISS) have finally been answered. Russia has confirmed that it will leave the ISS after 2024. This certainty is further strengthened by the exhibition of the new Russian-made Space Station design by the Russian Space Agency (Roscosmos). This is claimed to be more sophisticated and capable than the ISS.
At the Army 2022 military exhibition which is being held near Moscow, Russia, August 15-21, Roscosmos exhibits what it calls 'Ross', a model of the space station it developed itself.
Mentioned, Ross will be launched in two phases. The first phase or phase of the four modules will be sent into space and operational. The second phase will launch two other modules to support the activities of four Russian cosmonauts and various scientific equipment.
Roscosmos claims the Ross International Space Station is more sophisticated than the ISS currently operated by NASA (United States), Roscosmos (Russia), JAXA (Japan), CSA (Canada) and ESA (European Union).
Ross allows Russian cosmonauts a much wider view of the earth than the current ISS. Ross also doesn't need permanently stationed cosmonauts - such as the ISS where four US astronauts, two Russian cosmonauts, and one EU astronaut - but only sends cosmonauts to Ross twice a year.

If nothing goes wrong, the first stage launch of Russia's Ross Space Station will begin in 2025-26 (after exiting the ISS in 2024) and will be carried out no later than 2030. The second and last stage launch will take place in 2030. -35.

The space station was born as part of a foreign policy initiative to improve US-Russian relations after the collapse of the Soviet Union and Cold War hostilities. Launched in 1998, the ISS operates under a US-Russia-led partnership that also includes Canada, Japan and 11 European countries.
The previous head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, revealed earlier last year that Russian cosmonauts have played an important role in navigating the space station and avoiding the ISS from being hit by space debris.
